摘要：Five species endemic to Malatya province in Turkey, Hipricum malatyanum Peşmen (Hypericaceae), Lotus malatayicus Ponert (Fabaceae), Centaurea brevifimbriata Hub.-Mor. (Asteraceae), Chaenorhinum cryptarum (Boiss.et Hauskn.) Davis (Scrophulariaceae), and Phlomis integrifolia Hub.-Mor. (Lamiaceae), are critically endangered in nature, due to the deterioration of the habitats. These species were observed in the habitats for a period of 20 years by the authors. In Malatya province the habitats are gradually disappeared for reasons such as open fields, creating vineyards and orchards, and the effect of erosion.
